“…Examples of items in this scale are: ''I feel it is important to maintain safety at all times,'' and ''I believe that it is important to reduce the risk of accidents and incidents in flight operations.'' The reported coefficient alpha for this scale was 0.90. d) Safety behavior (Safety compliance and Safety participation) -Neal, Griffin, and Hart (2000), Neal and Griffin (2006). Safety compliance evaluates the core tasks that pilots must accomplish to maintain flight safety.…”
